Works free to use without permission belong to which category?

Works free to use without permission belong to which category?

• A. Imposition
• B. Public Domain
• C. Bleed
• D. Registration

Answer: (B)

Works that are in the public domain can be used by anyone without needing permission or paying royalties. This happens when the copyright term has expired, the creator releases the work into the public domain, or certain works (like some government publications) are public domain by default. Without active copyright protection, there’s no one to grant rights, so using, modifying, or distributing the work is allowed. Imposition relates to page layout and how pages are arranged for printing, bleed is about extending artwork beyond the trim edge, and registration is the process of filing for copyright protection. None of these grant free use of a work; they concern formatting, printing details, or protecting rights rather than whether permission is required.
